The pandemic coupled with systemic failures has unnecessarily put innocent people like 50-year-old Dorothy Clarke-Rozier in harm\u2019s way. Her death is a painful reminder of the multiple crises that are ravaging our city and the urgent need for a major overhaul of our city\u2019s approach to uprooting the causes of violence. Public safety goes far beyond community policing, it is time that we take real action towards combating mental illness, drug and substance abuse, gun trafficking, homelessness, among other issues. On behalf of District 45, I offer my sincerest condolences to her family and colleagues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>CONTACT:<br \/><\/strong>Kristia Winter \/ KWinter@council.nyc.gov<br \/><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>BROOKLYN, NY<\/strong> \u2014&nbsp;<strong>Council Member Farah N.
